not as good as its tool competitor but SO another company is down now!

I bought this clamp to use as a shorter version of my 50" Tru-Grip clamp which is a similar design. Now I understand that the people who make Tru-Grip have gone out of business. the Tru-Grip was better than the Emerson C24 at my furniture store. The adjustable clamping surface, which runs the length of the clamp, tends to move along its guides with the SMALLEST contact when the tool is between the clamps, even when "locked" as instructed; It's a little annoying when you make multiple cuts of…

Pros
  • FLAT TOP - The extra low profile and flat top make it easy to make straight cuts with a circular saw or router.
Cons
  • No Automatic

same size but different width than 50 "

I have got the 50" a while ago and love it. I wish the wider clip came with both, so I guess I'll have to buy them. That's the problem. I made some jigs using the 50 inch template as a template. I created the railings etc to fit and fit snugly on the rails. "Yesterday I thought they were both 2.5 inches wide.

Pros
  • NO C-CLAMP - no more C-Clamp! Make a really straight cut with this self-tightening ruler to guide your tools.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

works for a while and then crashes.

As another reviewer said, it worked for a while. By that I mean just a few abbreviations. Then the clamp just slips. I have the longer one, 96 inches, and it still seems to be holding up. This is a design flaw and I think short clips are more prone to fail faster. a smooth rod that runs underneath for its entire length and is pulled by a spike with a cam. Underneath are three slanted metal rods with holes in them that hold a plastic clip. The lever cam pulls the bar, the bars should lock the…

Pros
  • STRAIGHT EDGE – E. Emerson's patented self-clamping Contractor Series design features integrated tubing that runs the full length of the widebody design, making it extremely rigid and easy to manipulate.
Cons
  • Can't remember
